Oh come now Joel, Pinter doesn’t loathe himself. He loathes other Jews, especially those who don’t worship the golden words that fall from his lips. He loathes Americans, bunch of religious right-wing types except in enlightened places where the rich folk live. He must loathe the Arabs too, since he figures that they are a bunch of ragheads who don’t deserve any better rule than a bloody-handed tyrant like Saddam.

It may well be that the only person in the world Pinter doesn’t loathe is himself, and possibly Antonia Fraser. It’s not wise to let your meal ticket know you loathe her.

Pinter unfortunatley is all too typical of too many ostensibly British Jews (Gerald Kaufman, Daniel Machover). Anti-American, anti-Israel, full of self loathing.

I think we all are partly responsible for this unfortunate state of affairs. Our innate (or rather inane) tendency to regard scientists, artists, writers as natural-born oracles able to show us the truth on every conceivable matter is causing us to listen to so much drivel.

I happen to know so many so called “simple people” who are infinitely wiser and have tons more common sense than many of these oracles.

But who will listen to them?

Only when we start seeing in all these luminaries nothing more than successful professionals who should limit their speeches to their own trade, the things could change.

Actually, people like Pinter are the strongest arguments in favor of having elected President Bush. Just consider that people like him would be running the country if the President had been defeated.

For his willful ignorance, everything that Saddam did to his people, may Pintner’s eternity be spent having that visited upon him.

Which means, based on his current state of health, soon.
